Book Description
Aubrey Miller is off to College and more than ready to leave her small town and the cheating ex that resides there. After being accepted into the most prestigious sorority at Murston College, Aubrey is confident that this is exactly where she is meant to be. At the sorority welcome party, Aubrey meets the man of her dreams. Jesse is everything her scummy ex-boyfriend could never be. There is only one small problem, Jesse's cousin Chase thinks that he claimed her first. Aubrey isn’t about to let some Neanderthal from the dark ages tell her who can and can not date. Just who does he think he is? Chase Walker is a full-blooded werewolf and the future Alpha of the Murston pack. Jesse and Chase have been best friends since childhood, but are now willing to lay down their lives for Aubrey. A little on the dramatic and obsessive side, but fate and their frenzied animal instincts can do that. Who can she trust with her heart? One man she loved at first sight, the other, no matter how hard she tries to ignore, he pulls heavy on her heart. Is it possible to love two men at the same time? Secrets begin to shed as quickly as clothing, while love and laughter turn into heartbreak and tears. With so many mysteries, not only at Murston, but also within her own family, who can she trust? Is she ready for the truth? Better yet, are you?

“Equal parts soaring fantasy, heart-pounding action, and bloody social commentary, Blood Scion is a triumph of a book.” —Roseanne A.

Equipment in Anaesthesia and Critical Care
Author: Daniel Aston
Publisher: Scion Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1907904158
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
Highly commended in the Anaesthesia category of the 2014 BMA Medical Books awards! From reviews: "Altogether, this textbook offers an excellent detailed overview of basic principles, mechanics, and physics of technical equipment used in anaesthesia and intensive care medicine." Critical Care, Feb 2014 "This book is excellent. I have read a number of equipment related books and found most of them stale and filled with minutia. Instead this fresh look at equipment really makes it interesting to read and keeps your attention. With sections that give quick answers to how things work, advantages and disadvantages, in an easy to read format you get exactly what you want to know RIGHT away. In addition the full color photos and well done charts really add to the depth of this book. It is my opinion this may be one of the best books on the market for quick review of anesthesia and critical care equipment. Let's be honest, no one is sitting at home reading equipment books for pleasure so when you NEED the information you likely need it right away. This book does exactly that; easy format, clear and concise information with everything you need to know about a piece of equipment easy to find and within a page or two. I would recommend this to all trainees in anesthesia but also for those providers who like to be prepared in the operating room to deal with any issue that might arise." www.nurse-anesthesia.org, 8 Feb 2014 Equipment in Anaesthesia and Critical Care specifically follows the syllabus published by the Royal College of Anaesthetists and is the perfect guide for candidates studying for their FRCA qualifications. The book is beautifully illustrated and features high quality colour photographs throughout. The text is engaging and comprehensive, relating each piece of equipment back to its basic physics, mechanics and clinical context. The clear, concise and standardised format means that information is easy to access and perfect for revision. Every major piece of equipment is featured alongside colour photos, reproducible line diagrams, and information on its uses, how it works, pros and cons, and safety considerations. The authors, all senior registrars in anaesthesia and critical care, appreciate exactly what candidates need to know to pass the FRCA exam. They have identified and tackled difficult subjects which are often glossed over or omitted in other resources, to produce a book that is comprehensive, engaging and to the point. In addition to FRCA candidates, the book is also suitable for operating department practitioners, critical care staff, and physicians with an interest in anaesthesia or critical care.

Fiorello. The genesis of this word began in 1978, when a secret experiment within the confines of the Vatican walls set forth a chain of events that would either validate the tenets of Christian faith . . . or destroy it.
